I now firmly believe that if I had a Twin on the East course I could have gone faster than I did in the Camaro.

Therein lies the problem. You really need to build a specific course for the car to give it a shot. Packwood was a really good example of this, tight offsets to relatively open sweepers, to another transitional section into the finish. Basically any runway-style course, like the current condition of El Toro, is where the Twin will really shine.
Speaking specifically about the East course, it was balanced enough that I don't think the Twin would really have been that much faster. There were 4 sweeper/turn around areas of the course that it got killed by either the Camaro or WRX. The opening slalom and exit of the slalom after the showcase were practically the only places where it clearly had a large advantage.
